I found this really creepy baby doll face mask somewhere for 5 bucks. It reminded me of the torture room scene from Brazil. So now I just need to find a white smock and I’m set.

I may just dust off this one again. I can think of a few improvements to make.

One of these years I’m gonna get a big sheet of white foam rubber, wrap it around myself a couple times, cut holes for my face and arms and go as Bill.

I was thinking of finding an old “Members Only” jacket secondhand somewhere, making a t-shirt with “Member’s Only” on the front, and then donning a strap-on.

Get it?

I haven’t figured out yet if that’s really funny or just kinda dumb enough for a giggle. I thought of it in the shower yesterday. I have 3 private parties to go to…

Nitpick 2: The characters in “American Gothic” are a father and daughter, not a husband and wife. No one ever gets this right – do they still use it in the “Desperate Housewives” opening? I should write them a letter.

Wikipedia believes the issue is still open, but at any rate, my sister-in-law wore the absolute best blouse to portray her in, and Theo found a pitchfork somewhere.

I’ll probably be Salvador Dali. I bought a melted-looking clock a few months ago and I’ll wear that around my neck, and we’re working on other accessories - I’m planning to glue lobster claws to my cell phone, for starters. I’m trying to grow out my moustache so I can wax it into the right shape, but I’m not sure it’s going to get long enough. I may have to use a fake 'stache or draw one on.

The alternative is Emperor Norton. I consider this every year and I really want to do it sometime soon, but I don’t know where to get the uniform for starters.

You mean, zombie Billy Mays, right?

I just went to the Halloween stores with my friends yesterday and my commentary went something like this: “Oh, look! You could be a slutty princess, a slutty soldier, a slutty referee, a slutty bee, a slutty witch, a slutty Gumby, a slutty firefighter, a slutty cop, a slutty zombie, slutty pirate, slutty Queen of Hearts, slutty Robbin Hood, slutty Batman, slutty devil, slutty eskimo, slutty beer wench, slutty Freddy Krueger, slutty Indian, slutty insane asylum patient, slutty cheerleader, slutty boarder patrol agent, slutty Ghost Buster, slutty cave woman, slutty maid, slutty clown, slutty Minnie Mouse. . .”

I’ve been complaining about this for years. To make matters worse, a large portion of men are dressing like slutty girls, too, so it’s become both cliche and kind of disgusting.

When I was still at college, I bought a mask that made it look like I had no face. Then I dressed up all in black with skellington gloves and socks.
I can still hear one of my friends freaking out…“aurghhhh!”
Then I remember walking up to another friend in the get up. She looked at me and said " Hi AboutAsWeird!"

I love the “Slutty <character>” costumes.

I have no problem with dressing slutty/sexy for Halloween, I do it sometimes myself. But why not just dress like something that IS sexy, instead of Slutty Candy Corn?
